How much is too much drinking?

Post by **MrSparkle** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 6:53 pm

Ever since I turned 21, alcohol tasted so delicious. I've been drinking for over a week straight, not getting wasted every night but some nights I would just get buzzed. Am I an alcoholic? :lol: My poor liver...

Not just beers, mixed drinks and straight shots.

Means you didn't drink enough water.

That you've sobered up too much. Here, have a cold one.

You drank approximately 131 units of alcohol in the last seven days.

So, what does this mean for you? 21 units a week is the recommended alcohol intake for men.

It's all because it was my week off, I swear

lol nice, i know at my student union bar they have a wee chart thing with how much units of alcohol drinks have and what should be our limit. Aparrently its something like 8 units....ppfftt fuck that.

Anyway, my definition of drunking too much is when you get too involved in it and it then effects your other piorities in life, school, work etc. But i remember the phase i went though for about a week when i turned 18 when I could walk to any pub and get a drink, unlike getting in, getting ID'd and then being asked to leave.

But the novelty wears off after some short time.

That thing is a bit stupid because it doesn't look at body weight, etc.

Around here we never seemed to get ID'd, used to go to the pub when we were like 16

. I was more paranoid about being ID'd when I was 18; didn't want to look stupid

I was brought by a woman named Roosevelt, Mrs. Claud Roosevelt. Do you know her? I met her somewhere last night. I've been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.

Has it? A little bit, I think. I can't tell yet. I've only been here an hour. Did I tell you about the books? They're real.

Lol nice, in all honesty i've been asked for ID more since I turned 18. It was just friday nights where bouncers ask at the door, once we get in its all good. I could usually avoid the bouncers by not shaving for a few days etc. Its a bit difficult because I dont drive yet and the only ID i have on me is my out of date passport with a picture of me when i was about 13. Laughed my arse off when this 6'5" bouncer actually let me in with it when I was going down a local pub one night.
